Magelis GK: Advanced keypad and touch panels

Schneider Electric’s ultra-flexible Magelis GK graphic terminals are available in keyboard and touch screen versions.
Their display and communication characteristics are similar to those of the Magelis GTO; The combination of a keyboard allows terminals to enhance the user experience.
They are available in two screen sizes (5.7 ″ and 10.4 ″) configurable to meet user needs.

Designed to operate in harsh environments, Magelis GK terminals provide optimal control thanks to the keyboard and the touch screen. They are suitable for industrial sectors exposed to severe environments, such as:

The manufacture of materials: cement, bricks, wood, glass,….
The metallurgical industry.
The pulp and paper industry.
The mining industry.
Automobile industry.

HMIGK terminals can be used at several levels of functions. Multifunctional Magelis GK terminals benefit from new information and communication technologies, including:

High level of communication (embedded Ethernet, multi-link, Web server and FTP).
External data medium (SD memory card and USB Memory Stick) for storing production information and backing up applications.
USB signaling column and biometric button.
Device management: printers, barcode readers, etc.

Magelis GK

Ultra-flexible user interface

The touch screen and keyboard keys can be configured at the same time or separately by:

Function keys (Fi) with customizable labels or associated screen pictograms (Ri).
Industrial pointer to execute precise commands on the screen.
Alphanumeric keypad based on a mobile phone keypad.
3-color indicator lights associated with the function keys to indicate the status of the command.
Has improved key sensitivity for visual control of the machine.

Ease of use

In difficult, dusty or dirty conditions, when it is impossible to use the touch screen, the operator can, however, use the Magelis GK terminal with gloves thanks to the good feel of the keyboard keys.

Optimal safety for operators

The keypad is secure, allowing operators to access the control keys at any time with the possibility of double actions and ensuring the keypad is locked during critical operating phases.

Ease of maintenance

The Magelis GK is equipped with advanced features to simplify and speed up maintenance, such as:

Long-lasting LED backlight that reduces power consumption and replacement frequency.
A very rugged design at operating temperatures up to 55 ° C, reducing risk and time spent on maintenance.
A built-in standard SD card slot, eliminating the need for a PC to upgrade the application on site.
Easy installation without tools thanks to the spring clips.
Simple replacement of removable batteries.
Remote diagnosis with Vijeo Air / Air + allowing maintenance personnel to identify problems without being physically present on the site.

Ease of replacement

Existing Magelis XBTF or XBTGK keypad terminals can easily be replaced by Magelis GK terminals:

Identical screen size and identical communication capacity.
Identical cutout and keyboard layout.
Use of spring clips.
Same configuration software (Vijeo Designer).

Vijeo Designer software

In addition to the advanced ergonomic design of the Magelis GK terminal, the Vijeo Designer configuration software, unique in Schneider Electric’s HMI offering, makes it possible to speed up and facilitate the processing of operator dialogue projects.
It also offers comprehensive application management tools.
The Vijeo Air / Air + offer, fully compatible with the Magelis GKs, allows remote access and connectivity anywhere at any time.

SoMachine enables the development of machines, their commissioning and their programming. SoMachine version 4.2 allows the terminals of the Magelis GK offer to be programmed using the Vijeo Designer software.

Magelis GK terminals have been designed for PlantStruxure and MachineStruxure architectures, as well as for Transparent Ready equipment (combination of Web and Ethernet TCP / IP technologies).

All terminals equipped with an Ethernet port thus have an integrated FTP server for transferring data files and a Web Gate function for remote access to the terminal application from a PC with an Internet browser. . Vijeo Designer also allows browsing in HTML pages and sending e-mails from Magelis terminals.

Operating modes of terminals

The following illustrations show the devices that can be connected to Magelis GK terminals according to their two operating modes.

Edit mode

(2) Qualified with Hewlett Packard model printer via USB / PIO converter.

Operating mode
